Bryan Explaining.
I his Nebraska speech, the other
day, Mr. Bryan unqualifiedly indorsed
ithe Chicago and Kansas City platforms
as fully reflecti ng genuine democratic
doctrine. Every plank in those plat
iforms, rte.'afnrvea,:.is sounS, and:virile,
day.
Since then the colonel has been
called down by many of his democratic
brethren Avho seem to resent the as
sumption of, the power of platform dic
tation by him. I New York Bryan
did some elaborate explaining and
tried to shift himself to a less Bour
bonic positio n, and yesterday, with
reference to the remark of Williams,
the democratic leader of the house,
that silver is a dead issue and will not
figure in the coming campaign, Bry
an declared that in his Nebraska
Ispeech he was not "framing campaign
issues," altho that was precisely what
he did. Pie laid down his points with
the emphasis of a political leader who
ia persuaded that has the whole
democratic party hanging hD
utterances of his lips.
Yesterday he weakened somewhat
In his infatuation a silver and
other wil d, irrational planks of the
Chicago and Kansas City platforms,
and declared that simply reaffirmed
his belief in the 16 to 1 ratioh did
not regard the currency issue of su a
preme importance now, and an
nounced the supreme Issue a "the
money changers," a term of wide in
terpretation, fi om- the, country banker
to promoters like Schwab and Mor
gan.
The disposition Of many democrats
to get away from free.silver and their
former fealty to a "bimetallic price
level," which, being interpreted
common business sense, is silver
'monometallism, is accompanied by the
flimsiest of ap.olQgies to the effect that
gol d, is no longer scarce, the world's
production having risen from $96,200,-
000, in 1873, to $310,000,000 in 1903,
and so long as gold is abundant they
see practical use in silver agita
tio n.
,The fact is that when these fellows
were furiously clamoring for the single
silver standard, they admitted their
purpose was to secure "cheap money"
"by which United States bonds would
her paid for in depreciated silver and
piiivfete debts would be met in the
samje dishonorable way. I is 'true
many of the advocates, of this dis
honest policy did not realize the crim
inal nature of the scheme. Fortunate
ly "bimetallism" was driven into its
last ditch in tnis, country in tne cam
paign Of 1900.
Bryan, in order to keep in public
life, is ready to shift his position.
Fleming Bignon, a leading d'emo
I crat of Georgia, relates that going to
I New York by rail once, met a
I Methodist clergyman who in conver
sation remarked: "You can never
make a Baptist out of Colonel Bryan."
Asked why, he"replied: "Because Mr.
Bryan would never consent to remain
otit of public sight long enough to be
immersed."
A Bryan and many democrats are
gravitating to the republican doctrines,
a to regulation and control of in
dustrial consolidations, there is some
hope for a return to reason. Indeed,

The Good Hoads Convention.
That probably was not a mere advertis

The second annual convention of
the American Road Makers' associa
tion, is to be held in Hartford, Mich.,
Feb. 1 0 and 1 1. A congress of road
builders- I .a .be -held in connection
with the association's convention.
Among the subjects that will be con
sidered is the matter of national aid
in jroad building.... However, the gen
eral public may be inclined to shy
at the somewhat paternalistic idea of
federal government assistance in
building local roads, the farmers
ought to rise as one man and shout
for it:\i'-.-

JA. very large part of all the tonnage

way and steamship service has. im
proved marvelously in the last fifty
years and gets better a ll the time, both
as to cheapness and efficiency. The
country road is better than it was"
fifty years ago. A half-century has
gone without reducing the freight
charge from the farmer's fields to the
railway station. has clamored for
railway freight reductions" and got
thembu has not reduced the
cost of transportation on his own
linethe country highway. The rail
ways have stopped taking excessive
charges out of the farmer,.but he still
charges himself a ridiculously, high
price for moving his own produce.
When, reason of bad roads, a
farmer requires two horses to take to
the market station a load that
could be easily handled one horse
on a good road, is charging him
self excessi ve freight rates so also,
when lames his horses, breaks his
wagon, tears his harness and uses two
hours where one is enough.
Tom Marshall is a representative man
There are lots of his constituents who
could buy him out any day, and yet he is
quite well-to-do, and as the one-time pos
sessor of $l,d00 worth of diamonds is not
a rare specimen of the "folks at home."

Now departs the glory of Duluth

The glory of the zenith city was first
proclaimed by Proctor Knott, but i

by the string-fiend.' Child of .the:

Nestpas (probably e'est pas) i
a village located, according to the cor
respondent, about ten miles from
Winnipeg. Sunday night the inhabi
tants of Winnipeg heard a terrlficicah
nonading in the direction of Nestpas.
Recent arrivals from England prob
ably thought it Was' the artillery of
the American invasion they have heard
so much about. But the explanation
came when eighty inhabitants of
Nestpas arrived in Winnipeg to report
that the thunderous noise"'was caused
by the snapping of, boards and nails
as their houses of green lumber col
lapsed- before the ,.irresistible expan
sive power of the intense cold that
then prevailed. The frost strained a
the clapboards and they broke away
from their moorings with sharp re
ports and deep roars that reported and
roared in Winnipeg ten miles away.
When, all was over there was not a
clapboarded house in Nestpas, and. the
freezing inhabitants fled i disorder
to the metropolis of Canada west. But
this is not all nor the worst.
One Mrs. Emily Jordan was wont
to gossip with her neighbors thru a
megaphone, in the absence of a tele
plione system. ready I case
of burglary, she kept this instrument
at her bedside,. Sunday night, by
some unhappy chance, she was sleep
ing with either her right or left ear
at the mouthpiece of the instrument
When the" frost began to boom and
crash the long cone of the megaphone
gathered up the vast volume of sound
waves, concentrated and enforced
them and hurled them into Mrs. Jor
dan's ears with such violence that
both ear drums were broken and she
was made .deaf...

Money's Call-Not Loud Enough,David
.Greer, D., N ew .York's new bishop
coadjutor, is the subject of a very in
teresting sketch In Pearson's Magazine
for Februar y. Dr Greer received two
calls from New Yt)rk ehurches, St Ba r
and St Thomas', about the
same time. St Thomas' was a success
ful church already, and to be its pastor
carried with it some distinction. St. Bar
tholomew's church was what is called
"struggling." Which would he take?
gave this reason for his choice of St
Bartholomew's: "St Thomas' church has
all its pews rented, has a-large congre
gation,, and does a active work at St
Bartholomew's, on the other hand, hail!
tha pews are .vacant, its congregation is
